Chapter 4 - Megan Tabyrn

They got back into the SUV and Ianto pulled out his phone to text Megan when Jack said.

"We should all go back to the hub and have a check-up with Owen." He looked at Ianto through the rear mirror "you at least need to get your arm bandaged and we need to report our findings."

Ianto still sent a text: 'All finished but hav 2 go bac 2 base for short time. Will txt later.'

They arrived at the hub, parking the SUV in the garage before going into the hub. Jack bounced into the main hub in his usual style to find Owen and Tosh hard at work on the computers.

"And where were you this morning?" Jack stood looking at him, his hands on his hips doing his best impression of 'I'm in charge.'

"Um… I had a few drinks and forgot to charge my phone." He said not looking up from his computer.

"Well I hope you're sober enough now because I need you to look at Ianto's arm, make sure there's no infection."

At this Owen looked up "Bloody hell teaboy, what no suit?"

"Yeh well I wasn't supposed to come into work today."

Owen grunted an apology at him before going into doctor mode. "Well come on then let's get that arm seen to." Ianto followed Owen down to the autopsy bay and began removing his jacket and shirt so Owen could dress the wound.

Jack wondered over to Tosh's desk and lent against it folding his arms. "Toshiko."

The young women looked up at him "What can I do for you Jack?"

"I want you to run a search on Megan Tabyrn, find out everything you can then bring the results up to my office. Try and get it done before Ianto leaves." He said he last bit in a hushed whisper then moved into his office.

Jack put down the papers he was pretending to read when Tosh knocked and he waved her in.

"What did you find out Tosh?"

"Not much, she's an exceptional student, when she was 17 she was awarded a scholarship to Oxford but turned it down in order to go to one in Belgium where she is in her last year of studying history and sociology. She has no criminal record, no outstanding bills or depts. She's a model citizen."

Jack put his head in his hands and signed. "Is there any connection to Ianto or Torchwood, any reason she'd know about weevils?"

"Not that I can find, the only connection to Ianto is that they grew up opposite each other. There is something…"

Jack looked up "Go on Tosh."

"Well there was a tag put on by the Belgium police showing she's been involved in something but there aren't any details, nothing, it's like it doesn't exist only it does."

"What about family, anyone we can talk to?"

"No, there's no one. She father was a General in the British Army; her mother was a primary school teacher they both died in a car accident when she was 15 and her brother who is 8 years older than her also joined the Army but was killed in action just over a year later."

"Poor kid. Ok that's good work Tosh thanks. Oh and keep this to yourself."

"Of course."

They turned around to see Ianto standing outside the glass door, how long had he been there? Tosh walked out but stopped and hesitantly put her hand on Ianto's arm.

"Sorry about your day off."

Ianto smiled at her "It's ok, there over rated anyway. Just don't tell Owen I said that." He said giving her a bigger smile. Tosh continued to her desk to work.

Ianto walked into Jacks office and stood with his hands in his pockets and his mask set in place. Jack knew what was coming. "I'd like to go home now sir."

"No like I said before we need to debrief, there were far too many weevils there for my liking and I want to know why."

"Sir you know as much about it as I do, probably more given the amount of time you've worked for Torchwood."

Jack frowned, sometimes he wasn't sure whether Ianto knew about his immortality or not. He would just have to play it by ear.

"So what do you suggest we do because you have to be present at the debriefing?"

Ianto looked thoughtful for a second before speaking. "Move it to later on, I have to meet up with Megan to…" Ianto caught himself just in time; he was going to tell Jack but not yet. "There's something we have to do. Then I will come back here for the meeting."

Jack considered it, it sounded like a good idea, and he could find out what the 'something' was that Ianto and this girl were going to do.

"Ok, I'll see you back here by 3:30pm." Jack went back to the papers littering his desk.

Ianto cleared his throat. He knew that if he wanted to get back some of the trust he had lost from his teammates then he needed to tell them or at least Jack everything in his life that involved Torchwood and that included Megan.

Jack looked up at him and raised his eyebrows surprised to see him still standing there.

"I was wondering if you could give me a lift, there are some things I should probably explain."

Jack looked at him for a second before nodding his head, standing up and collecting his coat. The fact Jack was well surprised didn't cover it; Ianto was going to talk to him. Voluntarily.

As soon as Jack and Ianto had left Owen and Tosh gathered around Gwen's station.

"So what happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"Oh come on Cooper when you went to teaboys flat."

Gwen turned to face them and grinned "Well…"

Jack and Ianto sat in the SUV. In silence, Ianto was looking down at his hands and Jack was looking straight ahead, his hands still on the stirring wheel. The SUV was parked round the corner from where Ianto was meeting Megan; Ianto had sent her a text to meet him but knew it would take a while for her to walk meaning he could explain things to Jack.

Jack finally got fed up of the silence he looked at Ianto "Well go on then, you wanted to talk."

"I don't know where to start."

"The beginning would be a good place. Who is she?"

"She is Megan Tabyrn and she is… she is…"

Jack remained quiet knowing it must be hard for Ianto to talk about this especially to him.

"I can't do this I'm sorry." Ianto made to leave but Jack caught his arm and turned him round to face him, putting his hands on his shoulders.

"Hey you wanted to talk, so go on. Because if you don't give me a good enough reason as to why she knows about Torchwood then I'll have to follow protocol and you know what that means."

Jack knew this was a risky tactic; Ianto would either open up to him or never speak to him again.

Ianto pushed Jack away from him but stayed in the car, back to looking at his hands.

"She's my… my…" he took a deep breath and shut his eyes, he knew that once he started speaking he could never go back. "She's my sister. My half-sister."

Jacks eyebrows shot up, he had not been expecting that. He looked at Ianto wondering how he hadn't seen this.

"I didn't know."

"No, no one does, the last person I told was… Lisa."

"It's not your file, either of your files."

"No she was never officially recognised as my sister, Rhiannon my older sister refused to sign the legal papers and after I joined Torchwood I didn't want anyone to know." Ianto turned quickly to look at Jack "Not because I'm ashamed of her, she's amazing and brilliant as you've already seen from this morning."

Jack put his hand on Ianto's arm felting it tense under his touch and tried to catch his gaze, he had the feeling he was starting to understand.

"Ianto how does she know about Torchwood?"

"When I was 19 I found an alien and she was with me, a couple of Torchwood One soldiers chased us but we didn't know London as well as Cardiff so it didn't take them long to corner us. They said that if I worked for Torchwood then she could keep her memories."

Jack looked searchingly at his face, he Ianto was still holding things back but it had taken a lot for him to Jack as much as he had so he wouldn't push him. Yet.

"Thank you Ianto." He straightened himself up and turned the engine back on he had to put the wipers on because it was starting to rain. "So where am I dropping you?"

"Just up here."

Jack stopped the SUV and looked around there wasn't much there, on one side of the road were just a few small shops and on the other was a church. At the gateway to the churchyard stood a young girl with a large black umbrella.

"Is that Megan?"

"Yeh."

She looked so different that Jack hardly recognised her; she was wearing black wedges, black tights, black skirt and jacket. The only colour she wore were the small flowers on her skirt and the bunch of flowers in her hand. Her hair was loose and hung just below her shoulders. She looked sad.

"Who are you going to see?"

Ianto was just undoing his seat belt but turned to look at Jack. "Her family. Thanks for the lift sir."

"It's ok. I'll er wait here and give you both a lift back."

Ianto nodded his head in thanks before getting out the car and running across the road.
